Interesting, the turbo would be fitted between the engine and the firewall, very nice design IMO.
Plus, I beleive someone mentioned that this system used only one bank. When in fact it is using both the front and rear banks to drive the turbine and it looks like it would fit right up to the stock manifolds. Again, very nice design!!
Maybe time to save these pics and use them to prototype with since it wasn't a production system??

Let me chnage that a bit. Because of the VSA throttle the last bit of piping after the intercooler to the TB would need to be moddified.

Are you kidding me??? For a custom turbo? Hardly. That one guy who has a custom turbo on his 3.2TL paid about $7k for it. One of a kind parts don't come cheap...</STRONG>

w/o any records of dyno sheets or any proven gain from this kit, would the kit still be worth over $7000? Even then, one of a kind don't necessarily means ... it is a GOOD product? Just one of a kind ...

I totally agree w/ Dlew Said. Just because got raped a suppose $7000.00+ for the kit don't mean another sucker should. Keep in mind, the kit is ahem "USED" and not new. Dlew makes a excellent point by asking for dyno sheets and any sort of proven HP or time slips. If you ask me, this is a bunk deal. I feel sorry for the Billy Joe Bob who's going to purchase the kit. 
Perhaps I should throw a big 48' decal Powered by Type S and sell my ride for $5000 over invoice

Hehehehe...did you notice!?! That he never mentions how many miles were put on that Turbo...so, the first major question is, do you want to see how long your motor lasts with that thing?
